Great news! I am going for my MRI tomorrow at 1:00PM, my boss is letting me work from home tomorrow so I can be closer to the facility and miss less work, so that is a plus. I am happy to be... -

Thanks Gentlemen, has been a rough week so far. I woke up Monday morning sick as a dog, some kind of stomach bug or food poisoning. Unfortunately I was out of town for work and there was no option...

dapack replied to the thread Segansational's Motivation Log.Agree with what @Hyde said. I do them because I need a definitive end goal to make changes and hold myself accountable. When I don't have one planned out the gym/ diet is not the best. Should...

I think I paid $9.99 for my 531 app but there is a free version too, so if a person wanted to use a free app for a while on a circuit and not feel like you're losing on an app you bought...

Adding in some beach muscle action is fine as Hyde said. Also if concerned about wasting the money you spent on the RP App then use it to build your way into a strength cycle. Then once done go...

Yeah, I think exercise design and %s are going to be key for me here. M6, Wk5, D2 - Deload week Neutral Grip Pull Ups, 1 set Seated Cable Rows, 1 set EZ bar Skull crushers, 2 sets DB Shrugs, 1...

Yes, you can definitely still do some hypertrophy work - generally speaking, almost all powerlifters do (save the ones at extremely low weightclasses who can’t afford any weight at all). Muscle...

Really appreciate the discussion in here gents! No decisions made yet and probably until I come off this deload - at that point will see how I'm feeling both mentally and physically. But, I do...

amen to that, and regardless of where the numbers come in, he won't be worse off. It just gives his training a purpose and he gains the experience he can carry with him whether he decides to keep...

That’s so true. We are the ones setting the standards for ourselves, and it’s entirely arbitrary. I wanted a lifetime deadlift PR this meet. But my back delayed my training such that I am really...
-
we tend to be much harder on ourselves cause we are all lifetime gym rats. I have seen people sign up for their first gym membership and 2 months later sign up to go to an event where they humbly...
-
Honestly I 100% think you should do it. You've been toying around with the idea of a competition for a while and this would give you a focused timeline to work towards and experience to determine...
-
Some great advice here, I agree with Hyde that if you are okay with the first 4 things, then just do it for the fun, and motivation. It will be a good experience, and might be just what you need...
-
Do you want to change your training right now? Are you excited by the idea to train for strength the next 2.5 months? Would you be okay with a total well below your best ever numbers, since you...
-
I will definitely defer to Hyde on this, but considering you’ve been doing more bodybuilding style workouts for a while, with only 2 1/2 months to train for a PL meet, really isn’t enough time to...
-
OK, so serious question: I just found out there is a local gym hosting a PL style meet Oct 24th. That would give me basically 2.5 months to prep to do the 3 lifts (I can choose to also just do 2...

been wondering about you, glad to hear things are good!

Welcome back, can't wait to see the updated pics.

Hey guys still cranking away! Finally got all my work trips done for this summer so I should be at home now and back to normal. Will get back to logging on Monday! Some updates garden has been...

Yeah that is wild to me; they must feel so awful. They walk around red tinted and then turn purple - that’s just sticking your head in the sand. When I am turning bright red by end of set, I know...

Donated blood today, but the draw site clotted when the bag was 90% full so they can only use it for research now. Which, it is a shame that someone in need isn’t going to get my awesome, thick...

Congrats on that bench PR, things are getting exciting!

Also, as of this week bumped Tren E from 40 to 50mg for the final 4 weeks. May not be much, but still a 25% increase - plus the addition of 40mg Tbol is objectively working. I realized all my...

My argument would be that you are part of the way there and while some refeeding and some rest is going to be well earned …. We are only getting older and if it’s obtainable it’s going to be...

Well, I’ve taken exactly 10mg Halo total in my entire life (added it Tuesday before maxing bench), so I don’t exactly know how I respond to it yet. BUT I can say 1600@198 would indeed be a great...

Are we voting. If so after you exceed your own expectations at this meet I vote for a halotestin fueled run at 1600lbs at 198 😂
-
The thought hasn’t escaped me. Honestly if I can hit 370-375 at this size, it should be possible to take 407 weighing around 255 or so eventually.
-
that would be dope, I mean bro to bro, I'd rather see you at 255 than 275 for obvious reasons
